Okay the TSA and the Body Scanner thing is getting on my nerves, can we as a nation stop encouraging the country to take steps to 'protect us from ourselves'? Please? I don't know about the rest of you but I don't feel it's appropriate to be treated as a potential criminal for wanting to fly somewhere and then to be electronically strip searched or basically be able to opt out and be groped instead... really, really? This is necessary to do to me? To kids? To Grandma visiting family on thanksgiving? Oh, and the take other means of transportation if you don't like it... Yeah because people have the time to take off work to drive or take a train or take a freaking boat across the pacific -_-;

Can we all just stand up for our constitutional rights on this. I mean it you keep giving things up in the name of safety and we've lost EVERYTHING that makes this country great.

"Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

They have no reasonable cause to strip search me or anyone else in an airport just for wanting to board a flight. Is this not obviously unreasonable to everyone else?

To be honest I forgot I had a blog set up... haha... ha ha... and well what it was set up for was a project I did got over and moved on from sooooo... I now apparently have already set up empty space to do something with. Now I could see this being actually interesting if I had say, a digital camera that worked, or something... but as it is I think I'll use it for all the random and possibly embarrassing TMI type stuff that it's just silly to post somewhere people will actually READ it.
